A true lifesaver

By Rozz H., Verified Reviewer

I bought a Livia after running out of options to control the agonizing cramps brought on by my period. I've been on prescription painkillers since the age of 12 and they are no longer working fast enough. My Livia is a godsend as you just have to turn it on for instant relief! No harmful side effects, no monthly drain on medication, and no explaining to the boss why you need to go home sick again.

The gentle electrical pulses can be altered in intensity to suit YOUR period which is brilliant as there are some days where the pain is worse. Plus it charges with a regular micro USB cable, meaning it's super easy to charge when traveling and you'll never have to go hunting for batteries! The range of skin colors means that you can match it to your outfit too which is an added bonus.

The only thing holding me back from giving it full marks is down to the electrode wires not being long enough for bigger girls such as myself, however, the company has since told me that they are going to look into this and I cannot wait!

Thank you Livia, for giving me my life back.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Amazing

By Leda H., Virginia, Verified Reviewer

After years of painful periods, keeping me home from school or from going to social events and limiting what I could do in general, I tried Livia. I am so glad I did. I am now able to function on my period and no longer miss out. It erases my pain and is easy to use and discrete, plus not in your way at all. LOVE IT.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The product is great, but not customer care

By Lindsay W., London, England, Verified Reviewer

The product is great, but we waited weeks for an update on our order. Customer care was very polite when replying to my chasing emails, but I had to initiate every email or we’d still be waiting!

Would def recommend the product but customer care needs to improve.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love it

By Savannah R., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I love my Livia, it doesn’t take all the pain away, but I’m able to get through the day when using it. I would and have recommended people to get it, I have had to take time off work before, but since getting the Livia, I have not had to. My skin is sensitive, so the pads make my skin a bit itchy, but it’s worth it!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This has saved my life!

By Elin Siv K., Faroe Islands, Verified Reviewer

Over the years I have been terrified every month when I would get my period. The I survived was by taking a lot of over the counter pain medication and over time the effects on it started to fade away and then I started to take stronger pain medication. But when I bought and got my Livia, I got excited and hope! It has saved my body from almost overdosing on pain meds just to get through the day! When I used it, I didn't need to take any pain meds and I'm not afraid anymore when the time comes! So thank you, Livia! Thank you for saving my life! I’m so grateful and I hope that others can feel what I feel on those difficult days! I even bought Livia for my best friend because I know that she has a hard time when she gets her period, so I wanted to be a good friend and help her!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best period product I've used

By Yas M., Los Angeles, CA, Verified Reviewer

This product is literally life-changing. I have very tricky periods, which usually means 7-10 days per month of severe cramps. I used to have to call in sick to work or school, because the first 1-3 days were so bad. I saw an ad on Facebook for these, and noticed they had a money-back guarantee, so I decided to give it a try. Excellent decision on my part.

I had to Google how to use it (there weren't clear instructions in the packet), but if I clip the square part to my shirt (makes trips to the bathroom easier) and stick the gel pads to my lower abdomen, I feel no pain. At all. The gel pads don't leave residue on my skin, and don't cause any irritation/redness/dryness (I have very sensitive skin so was nervous about that). You don't really feel the electric pulses; the pain just kind of disappears within the first minute or two after turning on the device. I use it on the second-lowest setting and my severe pain is totally taken care of.

Now I can go to work for long shifts, exercise, and relax on long drives without worrying about cramps ruining the experience. I can focus on complex tasks again, and hold conversations without doing the twist-and-grimace. I'm so happy I stumbled across this product!

I love the Livia!

By Kaylie L., North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

I love this device. It works when nothing else has, and I've tried everything including birth control pills and chiropractic adjustments! It is easy to apply and works quickly. I wear it almost constantly during "that time of the month." I would definitely recommend it to others. It is well worth the price!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Good product, terrible customer service

By Chaya B., Pittsburgh, PA, Verified Reviewer

The product was great, but it didn’t work for me personally. As advertised, I’m supposed to get refunded if I don't like the product. It’s been several weeks of back and forth phone calls and emails with customer support, trying to get my refund and I still don’t have it! The product is great, but if it doesn’t work for you, I can’t say if you will get refunded.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I don't want to live without one.

By Audrey M., California, Verified Reviewer

Greetings,

When I first saw Livia for sale on Amazon, I wondered if it could help me. I have lived with terrible pain monthly, cramps caused by a tilted uterus. I need medication quickly, and while waiting for that to help, I put on my Livia device and it is a tremendous help. This has enabled me to function far better and while I wait for medicine to work, this is already stopping the pain, and Livia absolutely necessary for me now. I keep it on all day, and night (and power it up as needed) my entire period. I was also very pleased it's made in Israel, because I trust the quality.

Livia has been a blessing in my life.

P.S. I like menstrual cups too.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
